Bath repair in Ludgershall

Repair or replace in Ludgershall?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Bath repair in Ludgershall, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HP18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Ludgershall

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Ludgershall?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ludgershall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Common problems we fix in Ludgershall

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Holes from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
